I respectfully disagree about Paul. He is the stereotypical three-piece suit guy: uptight professional who strives to look imposing but is too ignorant to find a good tailor and know how to look stylish.

Is that his clothing, or a function of his character? I tend to think more the latter. What do you dislike about his suits in specific?

I don't relaly like the style of the character's clothes - lapelled vests don't do it for me and neither do true three button coats and short, lifeless lapels. But what really kills me is the fit of his suits. The jackets are rectangular, too long overall and in the sleeves, the armholes are gigantic, and the shoulders too wide. It seems that he somehow paid a lot for MW quality suits. The cloths and patterns don't help either. The solids tend to look dead to me and if anyone should be wearing narrow stripes (and I'm not sure many should), a man with his build should not.

I definately have problems finding them off-the-rack...any suggestions from those of you who have them in abundance?

Can't remember seeing any nice ones OTR. IMO, the vests need to be short and fitted and the trousers high and cut for braces. I don't think they can be had outside of custom. Even RLPL, the obvious choice, doesn't quite fit the bill. But they and Paul Stuart should be on your list for a classic three piece, if you are adamant about going the OTR route.

I wouldn't say adament, but I only can allow so many bespoke suits in my budget...

Is that a bow tie you are wearing, or are you a marrionette? Peter Dragon, "Action"

I am planning on getting a navy pinstripe for my next suit, and I was thinking about making it a 3-piece as I have a wedding to go to in February and I think it will make me stand out from the other guys in the dog pack. I don't think I can afford bespoke, but I was thinking about trying a Brooks Bros. vested suit (I think they carry them at the Madison Avenue location), has anyone had experience with a Brooks 3-peice suit? I would think they could tailor it correctly as "off the rack" goes.

Looking at the poll I can't believe that over half the guys responding have a three-piece suit. I haven't been here too long, but I don't think I have ever seen anyone post a photo wearing one; maybe it will have to be me to break the vested barrier!
